I wrote a programming language for extending AI agents, called Mog. It's like a statically typed Lua.

Most AI agents have trouble enforcing their normal permissions in plugins and hooks, since they're external scripts.

Mog's capability system gives the agent full control over I/O, so it can enforce whatever permissions it wants in the Mog code. This is even true if the plugin wants to run bash -- the agent can check each bash command the Mog code emits using the exact same predicate it uses for the LLM's direct bash tool.

Mog is a statically typed, compiled, memory-safe language, with native async support, minimal syntax, and its own compiler written in Rust and its own runtime, also written in Rust, with `extern "C"` so the runtime can easily be embedded in agents written in different languages.

It's designed to be written by LLMs. Its syntax is familiar, it minimizes foot-guns, and its full spec fits in a 3200-token file.

The language is quite new, so no hard security guarantees are claimed at present. Contributions welcome!
